You know, considering that PotC was supposed to be a one-shot movie based on a theme park ride, and starring Legolas, I found the other two movies fit in snugly as a trilogy. Everything kinda tied up neatly, and some of the little things were almost perfect in how they played out.
3rd movie spoilers
Will getting fatally stabbed with the sword he made himself in the first movie. If I recall, he even looks at the hilt, and gives a 'Wait, isn't that my sword?' look.
That being said, the love angle, aside from the wedding ceremony, was incredibly forced. When I'm rooting for the no-nonsense Commodore to marry Elizabeth, and not the plucky orphan blacksmith, you have an issue.
Which makes the third movie incredibly tragic. Dammit, I wanted to ship (no pun intended) them so badly.
We never actually refer to the movie by name. The name of that film is 'Liam Neeson Beats Up Everybody'.
It has a sequel. Called 'Liam Neeson Beats Up Everybody... Again'. (Italics indicate where you have to put on movie trailer narrator voice, alternately called 'melodramatic Shatner'. We might have a few running gags).
A couple of days ago she came up to me and told me about the new movie in the series.

I'm just going to repost what I said in one of the other movie threads about PotC4 because it's as true now as then
Best part of Stranger Tides is the Spanish just not giving a fuck about anything happening in the A or B plot. Just came to do their job for Christendom and get the fuck out. It's like they were in some earlier version of the script and somebody just forgot to tell them.
The Man is winning, the pirates are getting cleared out, so the pirates of the world held a World Summit, and then Gol D. Roger told them where they can find his treasure. Wait
If you want Liam Neeson and a comic bookish type film, check out Darkman.
He plays a scientist who gets his lab trashed by the mob and gets disfigured in the process.
The guy was experimenting with artificial replacement skin to replace a burned faces and such (convenient!) and uses this to create disguises to infiltrate the mob and take revenge.
It's one of those smartly written flicks that seems to better liked by critics than a general audience.
I find It odd that they are calling it Taken 3, when it seems like no one actully gets taken.
Also, they should have stopped with the first Taken. It was pitch perfect, and required no follow up. Especially not the one it got.
Taken 2 had absolutely no bite, the first Taken was what I like to call a fist pump movie. A movie filled with moments where when the hero prevails and the bad guy gets his comuppence, you pump your fist and say "Yes!" Taken 2 had none of those moments.

I hadn't heard of this movie but now I think I want to see it
I'm convinced these films are becoming a genre: cast an older actor who's up for an action film, and have them punch guys for 90 minutes. You're banking on their star appeal and the simple promise of them doing something fun, which seems to be working quite well. I know The Equalizer was a TV series, but seeing Washington in an interview about it the other day, he said they basically just took the name and premise of it being about a guy who beats people up.

Someone else here said it but I don't remember who
Maybe Bale?
But one of the great things about Big Trouble in Little China is that at no point does Kurt Russell ever understand or even really believe most of the shit that's going on around him
His only concerns are if he or his friend are about to die at that very moment and the rest he just kinda goes, sure, whatever! And runs with it
Big trouble in little china feels like everyone in the film shot their dialogue and scenes separately and they somehow green-screened them all into the same shots in post
Also it's awesome

Big Trouble in Little China is amazing and I will not hear arguments to the contrary. Jack Burton is a national treasure.

Having said this the movie still has more of a sense of camaraderie amongst its characters than many of today's blockbuster cgi films
Also just watched sin city dame to kill for, god that was pretty bad. Eva green was great and the JGL segments were brilliant, the middle just dragged and the ending was so dumb it soured me completely on it

It ain't real until it hits the screen.
And, honestly, there's a fair chance it won't. Let's not abandon hope just yet.
Why I fear the ocean.

Son of a bitch must pay!
Oh, yeah, this is a fantastic scene
I just think Barbossa is cooler

This is the most baffling film I've seen in a while.
For me and my old roommate, it was ...
Qui Gon Jin Beats the Shit Out of Paris
and then ...
Darkman Returns: You Didn't Learn From Paris, Did You?
We haven't decided on the third one, but I'm making a strong push for ...
Rob Roy Murders Your Face Again
Could you just put together a list of all the dumb fake movie titles you can and send the mto me?
I wish to do a reading in a Don LaFontaine voice.
He's Gawain To Kick Your Ass
Is this gonna get ugly now? Huh? I hope not.
Maybe Bale?

I'll start with the ones I have in my DVD library and go from there.
Keep in mind that this is going to be a major project, so it's going to take some time.
Here's one to tide you over:
Denzel Washington
Mila Kunis
Gary Oldman
in
The Book Of Fallout
I can't believe there is no YouTube clip of Jack Burton firing his rifle into the ceiling to lead the charge and then a piece of it falling on him
"YOU ARE NOWHERE"
teehee
But it had a rad theme song!
Oh sure
But it was sooo baaaad
Ms chilla's other favorite show from that era was Forever Knight, a canadian show about a vampire detective
